MY THREE SONS - "The Ghost Next Door" Season 03, Episode 06 (1962)

Tonight's Saturday Night Halloween Special is an episode of "My Three Sons," circa 1962!

This is a great shot of the original cast with from left to right, William (Fred) Frawley as Grandpa Bub, Tim (Spin) Considine as Mike Douglas, Stanley ( X-15, Attack Of The 60 Foot Centerfold) Livingston as Chip Douglas, Fred (The Shaggy Dog, The Absent Minded Professor) MacMurray as Dad Steve Douglas, and Don (He was actually a musician, and was in a 60's band called Yellow Balloon) Grady as Robbie Douglas!!!

"My Three Sons" was on for 12 seasons! This episode called "The Ghost Next Door" was from season 03, episode 06 that aired on October 25, 1962!!!
The theme song was written by the hyper talented Frank De Vol, who was credited a lot of the time strictly as DeVol, and who, among a hoard of other things, composed the music for the two killer classics, "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?," and "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte!"

The house next door to the Douglas house has been vacant for 10 years, when suddenly this woman shows up! When she bends over, Bub immediately takes a fancy to her, but once you start talking to her, you can't shut her up!

Well, you can see why Bub was so hot to trot!

Loie (The Reluctant Astronaut) Bridge has the role of new neighbor Abbie Pearson!

After the introductions, and Abbie won't shut up, Mike and Robbie have other things they immediately need to do!

Chip is over at his pal Sudsy's house getting ready to go out Trick or Treating!

Olive (The Hearse) Dunbar has the reoccurring role of Sudsy's Mom, Mrs. Ruth Pfeiffer!!

Ricky Allen as Sudsy is a strange little guy to and try and find information about! I can't find his birth date anywhere, and although he only looks about 10 or 12 here at best, IMDB has him in TV shows going back to 1957, so he must have been acting since he was 5 or 6, and then after 39 episodes of "My Three Sons," he retired from acting forever!

The boys look like a couple of Martians in these Halloween costumes!

Chip and Sudsy try to sneak up and scare Steve, but since they had already announced their presence in the room, it turns out kind of anticlimactic!

TRICK OR TREAT!!!

Chip and Sudsy don't know that Mrs. Pearson moved in next door, and since the house has been vacant since Chip was born, they freak out when they see a light moving around!

It was Olive Dunbar who was in the TV series "Big John, Little John" as Bertha Bottomly, but I think it would have been a more appropriate role for Loie Bridge!

Chip and Sudsy make a pact, and decide to go check it out for themselves!

DWRAYGER DUNGEON PRESENTS: The Monster Movie Music Manifesto

Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Spy, Super-Hero, JD, Thriller and Noir films, that's what we like, and a recurring theme in a lot of those kinds of movies has always been music! There were rockin' clubs and cafes with cool jukeboxes, teen poolside parties with local bands, sometimes it was a seedy bar with a sleazy torch singer, a beatnik coffeehouse, maybe dancing somewhere in outer space, or some weird tribal ceremony on a cool secluded island with giant monsters running around, and you could count on it that a lot of the time there was smoking and drinking going on. It was a fun time!! A lot of movies also had quirky, swingin', jazzy or rockin' themes or credits, or maybe just some wild Psychotronic elements! We started with the music from 50's & 60's Monster Movies, but we later morphed into the new, bigger and better, Rock and Soul, 70's brevity, 80's maybes, 1940's Gorilla and Bela site from Hell! So, sit down, and take a load off, pour yourself a cool one, and order up something hot and greasy, because we have a lot of tasty tidbits on the menu, way outside the realm of good taste! If any of the postings just happen to step on anybody's toes, let us know & we will remove them immediately, if not sooner!! We recognize all formal copyrights, and do this solely to support and promote the films featured! This forum is only being presented in a critical and scholarly critique, and should not be construed as anything else. It's just all for Fun & Historical Education in an effort to keep bad taste alive forever!!! If the words and pictures pique your interest, then please go out & buy, or rent the movies, wherever you can find them! All soundclips are approximately two minutes long, just enough to give you a feel for the movie! When we post a sound clip, it will only stay up 30 days or less!
